3 Easy Ways: Drive More Traffic To Your Site

Do you want to increase traffic to your website? Would you like to create a site that others seek out? The good news is that you can build your ranking in the search engines and elevate your status as a trusted resource simultaneously. That’s because you can build traffic by using articles you write (or are ghost written for you).

Here are three ways you can use your articles to drive traffic to your website:

1. Place your articles on other sites – As an expert, you can submit your articles to many different sites, not just our own. The process is simple. First, identify key websites for your topic of expertise. Then find out if they accept articles from other experts. Next find out if there are any submission requirements such as a preferred length of articles. Finally, submit relevant articles complete with your by-line and contact information.

2. Provide an opt-in e-zine newsletter – Newsletters are a great way to build your connection to customers and prospects. By providing relevant information on a consistent basis, you become a valuable resource for others. Make sure your articles give your audience the information they want and can put into practice. Your contacts are probably too busy for fluff or self-promotion, so make your content worthy of reading.

3. Offer special reports or free articles to generate publicity – Articles can be transformed into special reports or provided as a free offering to generate publicity for your company. Whether you offer the information as a bonus to people who purchase other products or services or submit your special report with a newsworthy twist for the local media, you can create opportunities to showcase your expertise.

Each of these methods is great for building awareness and enhancing your credibility as a bona fide expert in your field. Put the power of the World Wide Web at your disposal by getting your information posted in multiple venues and you will soon have people flocking to your site.

Re: Alexa Ranking Goals - LOL, I spoke too soon. Within a few hours of my post, Alexa updated the Traffic Rank on the toolbar. Note however that the 3 month Traffic Rank on Alexa.com has still not been updated...
Re: e-Commerce and e-Payment providers - When I came back to Japan in 1999 I sometimes used to ask my students if they would buy anything on the Internet and at that time most thought it was too risky. I'd encourage them to try by using well known sites such as Amazon.co.jp and also pointed out that using a credit card on a reputable site was safer than using it at a restaurant. I can't remember the last time I had that discussion or when the "tipping point" occurred in Japan. To answer your other question, I use Paypal for several reasons: 1. Brand familiarity 2. Easy to use 3. Free to withdraw 50,000yen+ to my Japanese bank account - a huge benefit (but maybe other systems also offer that...?) 4. Easy to cancel subscriptions On the down side, their transaction fees are quite costly, they are difficult to contact and when disputes arise you can sometimes lose even when you can prove via your tracking service that the disputed item was "delivered" to the customer's address!
Re: Domain name sugestion - Hi Anelly, Support-Box.com sounds very good to me. Easy and catchy.
Delegating - Good info and interesting list. Easy to see how the authority or power is slowly passed to the person - the secret would be knowing WHEN to move to the next step. I like to avoid people who are stuck at the #1 level. Chris
Re: Picking an external hard drive to backup my files - So I ended up buying a Maxtor OneTouch 4 Mini 250GB External Hard Drive from TigerDirect.ca for $97.99. While I wasn't able to get the pre-installed software to work on my computer for whatever reason... I was still able to transfer all 14 GB of my personal files via the old fashioned "copy" and "paste" method. Hopefully this won't compromise the safety of my stored data.
